Proverbs 3

Don’t forget what I have taught 
Keep my commands in your heart 
For they will add much to your life 
And peace God will impart 

Hold fast to love and faithfulness 
Inscribe them on your heart 
Then you will be esteemed by God; 
Trust Him with all your heart 

On your own understanding, do not rely  
Submit to God; He will correctly guide  
Honour the Lord with all that you possess  
With abundance and joy, He will surely bless 

Do not spurn God’s loving discipline  
For He rebukes those He delights in 
Rich is the one, who amasses wisdom;  
Pleasant is her peaceful kingdom  

She is a tree of life to those who gain her  
How wise must be the Lord Creator, 
Who placed the silver stars in view  
And divided waters: oceans and drops of dew 

Preserve sound judgment and discretion  
Do not let wisdom and understanding flee 
For they will be like a talisman  
You will walk secure and steadily  

When you lie down, you will not fear 
Your sleep will be free from cares 
For the Lord will be protecting you 
From unexpected snares 

Do not withhold good where it’s due 
When you have the ability  
Do not delay your giving  
When you see someone in need  

Do not plot against your neighbour   
Or accuse people without cause  
Do not envy the violent  
Or choose their path, full of flaws 

The Lord hates perversity  
But He counsels the upright  
God’s curse is on the wicked  
But He blesses the upright  

God mocks the proud and shows favour 
To the humble and oppressed 
While fools inherit only shame  
The wise are honoured are blessed
